The design team was a finalist in the USAF's Advanced Tactical Fighter (ATF) demonstration\/validation competition, battling the YF-22 team for full-scale development and production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo YF-23 prototypes were built. The second aircraft, #87-0801, was designated Prototype Air Vehicle 2 (PAV-2) and made its first flight on 26 October, 1990 using the callsign \"Grey Ghost\".

The USAF's ATF program aimed to produce a fifth-generation air superiority fighter that would be better matched against emerging new aircraft such as the Su-27 Flanker. After a four-year development and evaluation process, the YF-22 team was selected in favor of the YF-23 in 1991. Although the YF-23 was stealthier and faster, it was less agile than its competitor.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiecast metal construction with some plastic components.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRealistic panel lines, antennas, access panels and surface details.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePad printed markings and placards that won't fade or peel like decals.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurately detailed underside with concealed screwheads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Hobby Master","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50178327249194,"sku":"HA2850","price":145.6,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0872\/7235\/8186\/files\/381080.jpg?v=1780562871","url":"https:\/\/himp.com.au\/products\/ha2850-multi-1-72-yf-23-gray-ghost-pav-2-af-ser-no-87-0801-1990-with-3-xaim-1202-xaim-9","provider":"Hobbyco Imports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
